wheel spacers

[muddyranger]

thinking about buying some wheel spacers for my 93 Ranger and wondering what's the dope. what should i look for, what will fit, where i should get them, anything i should stay away from? thanks for the input guys!

wheel spacers are a good thing to stay away from, unless you have no choice.

i know they stress bearings and joints but on a ranger? i'm not going to be doing a ton of off roading just maybe on the weekends.

i used 1.25" spacers for a long time on 35" MTR's and alot of offroading and quite a bit of DD. Never had an issue. they were the hub centric style.
they were even a cheaper brand that i found on e-bay. dont remember the brand off hand.

also i have 1/2" spacers on the front of my crawler now, just 2, 1/4" spacers stacked on each side, helped fitting the 15" rims onto my D60. They are just mr gasket brand.

would the hub centric spacers be the only ones i should buy? i've heard that they are the better ones but a little more expensive
